question about mmc_spi support and HIGHMEM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  from a position of moderate ignorance related to MMC drivers, is
there a reason that MMC/SD support over SDI requires !HIGHMEM?

  from drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig:

config MMC_SPI
        tristate "MMC/SD over SPI (EXPERIMENTAL)"
        depends on MMC && SPI_MASTER && !HIGHMEM && EXPERIMENTAL
        select CRC7
        select CRC_ITU_T
        help
          Some systems accss MMC/SD cards using a SPI controller instead of
          using a "native" MMC/SD controller.  This has a disadvantage of
          being relatively high overhead, but a compensating advantage of
          working on many systems without dedicated MMC/SD controllers.

          If unsure, or if your system has no SPI master driver, say N.


  should a selection of MMC_SPI absolutely *require* "!HIGHMEM"?
